Comments Off on A playdough snail sails on a sea of sand and macaroni
When your mind is made up
I can see the white wet-patches of PVA
Sticking together some decisions
strips of ego
and a few shiny pieces of doubt
until it dries and clarifies
then it gets hung on the wall
with your name on it
It can change as fast as a soufflé’s deflation
Makes me laugh
As excuses spill out
thoughts get scrambled
and justifications coddled together
like a bachelor’s every lonely last-minute meal
No agenda
Thrown together
Assembled
And made to fit
No matter how it tastes
